>> thanks for being part of a breaking news day on "the real story." here's shep. >> continuing coverage of the deadly terror raid in belgium. police just reported they busted up a terror cell fresh back from sierra, it planned to attack on something they call grand scale. isis reportedly running the whole thing. we'll have a live report. a 20-year-old 20-year-old seen right here that 20-year-old from ohio, is accused of plotting to blow up the united states capitol building. now the suspect's father is speaking out in a big way, but just how serious was the threat? and starting are tomorrow it will be lat easier for americans to do business with and travel to cuba. who can go? and who can't? and under what circumstances?

let's get to it. >> good afternoon from the deck. breaking this afternoon, and still developing, forces in belgium say they just prevented a major imminent attack with a raid on what officials are calling an active terror cell. at least two people are dead, one is under arrest, official says they've been monitoring members of the cell for weeks, members just fresh back from syria and working for the islamic state. they raid happened in the eastern part of the country 80 miles south and east of brussels. [shouting] >> some amateur video of the raid. it's difficult to make out what is happening but shows a building on fire. witnesses describe hearing a series of explosions, then rapid gunfire from the center of a town near a bakery. and police say the suspects

immediately opened fire on those security forces. the news is developing now, and rick leventhal has more from paris. what are you hearing rick? >> reporter: well, we're hearing from belgium authorities that police have been ordered to search a dozen locations of men who had just returned from syria. they were told there might be an imminent series of terror attacks, as you mentioned, on a grand scale. so they sent counterterrorism teams into locations, and at this location in the suspects opened fire on police with heavy military style weapons and handguns before authorities returned fire and killed at least two of them and seriously wounded another. no police casualty reported. all this going down just a few hundred feet from the central rail stage these men reportedly radical jihadis. authorities say there was no known connection to the paris terror attack, but we're hearing

from other sources there may be a connection between these men to and another man who turned himself in who said he knew amedy coulibaly. that suspect told police he felt safer in police custody than he did on his own facing retaliation from coulibaly's associates. whether these men that were just busted are the associates we don't know but there's an jang effort now in belgium to round up more of these terror cells and of course, paris as well remains on hey alert. >> anything new in the search for more potential suspects suspects there? >> reporter: we're hearing there is an ongoing search for a possible accomplice who may have bren amedy coulibaly to the grocery before he opened fire. they raided a home where he

reined and stashed weapons and vehicles stash there. they're looking for man who was accompanying coulibaly's communicate-law wife to the -- common-law wife to the airport in madrid. she then flew from madrid to istanbul and then is believed to have gone into syria. they're looking for him and her and a possible accomplice and another man seen driving her car around paris and may have been other members they're still hunting for tonight. >> rick leventhal in paris. let bring in bill gavin, the president of guardsmark, a global security company good to see you again. thank you. >> thank you shep. >> we don't know about any specific ties can't confirm whether this is tied to paris but we know the people would perpetrated the acts in paris got their guns from bus brussels. >> wouldn't pride me that

coulibaly got his guns from that individual and that vivid turned himself in because he was more afraid of the terrorists than the authorities. i bet he supplied guns to the other terror cell they just intercepted. >> guns are easy to get in thataire. >> they are, particularly if you're a noted gun dealer, and to bring them back into other european countries is not difficult you have a valid passport nobody looks to hard. >> the drive is three and a half hours from spot to spot and you don't have to do any checkpoints to get there, do you? >> in many cases going from country to country in europe is like going from state to state in the u.s. so yeah, you may have to good through passport control bit

might not be as difficult to travel. >> bill, of course everybody's fear is heightened now. always is after an event like this. to what degree are their real concerns that people of this proclivity might be trying to do something here presently? >> reporter: i think there's a high degree of concern now that we have heard that everybody that the isis, al qaeda, whoever you want to call it, has called for a worldwide attack, i think is going to be concerning all over the place. these people are vicious and it's refresh tolling hear the french and the people from belgium, calling it what it i, radical extremist, not some dustup as you have somebody from this country have us believe. >> do you still see thousands of troops on the streets there? is the presence still stepped up? >> well, they're telling us there are more than 100,000 troops and police officers spread out across france protecting sensitive sites, including jewish schools and

temples and mosques and other areas that could be targeted. you don't see large groups of them but you'll see small groups of police and soldiers on the streets, and we have to remember that there are at least 1200 to 1500 french citizens who have again to fight in syria and iraq with isis. there are thousands more across europe that have gone to fight over there and the big concern here, as it was with the kouachi brothers and others who have been to yemen, that come bam with training there may be many more, including these people in belgium who got training or were fighting over with isis in iraq and syria, and then came bag planning to carry out home-grown attacks. >> i keep hearing people on our air and elsewhere saying there's this refusal to call this islamic extremist terrorists. why is that so many people are jumping up and down screaming. you said it's been classified as a dustup. i've not heard it classified that way at all.

>> i don't think it's classified that way but the absurdity is our country our leaders, are simply calling it terrorism. they're not identify it for what it is and it does a disservice for the -- >> isn't the reasoning for that there's islam, and is a religion based on peace which more than a billion people around the world follow and haven't gotten in trouble, and then there's people who have bastardized and it turned it anything that is not islam, that tells you go out and murder people. there -- they're two different things. islam is one thing and whatever these people are doing is entirely different. >> you're entirely right and that's why we need to differentiate what we call them. to call -- to just say it's terrorism or islamist terrory. is wrong. islam is a religion of peace. you have to tell -- call it what it is radical islamist extremists. if you don't, you do a

disservice to islam as a whole. >> first, just into the fox news deck gruesome new booth of the group's thirst for blood. they put out more pop began da pictures of its executions and as usual the images are very disturbing. the first killings happened in iraq. the terrorists take two men to the top of to tall building, their reported crime, being gay. the pictures sew the large crowd to watch the men die. the camera then pans to the men on the edge of the roof, blindfolded and not able to say, and then the next frames sew a man falling to his death. the red and green speck you see on the ground there is the other vic've -- the other victim already dead. when picture capture thursday scene from the ground, the two men side-by-side, they're bodies crushed. we see the men blindfolded and crucified. isis claims the men were

thieves. notice the guns in the executioners' hands. a moment after this frame they shot the two men dead. finally, woman stands as an islamic state member reads her sentence for adultery. the sentence death by stoning. and image shows the crowds hurling large stones at the victim crumpled under the weight of the stones. notice that her killer keeps hitting her body with stone after stone, even after 100% clear she's dead. it's like we're devolving isn't it? imagine things like this in the 21st century happening a world away with people we don't have any way to understand, with 20-somethings who have no place to go and have attached to these cad cals. you call them whatever you want. they're radicals preaching something that isn't true to try to give these young people a way out and something to do with their lives, and now we have this scourge on the planet. catherine her around is in washington. what -- herridge is in

washington. what your hearing about these unbelievable killings. >> reporter: these images were provided by the middle east media research institute they isis and al qaeda social media and they're reporting a new tape claiming to show what they describe as the enforcement or koreanic punishment in northern iraq. the images purport to show the execution of two gay men asian parentally thrown from the top of a building, blindfolded to their deaths. a similar execution took place in iraq in december. the propaganda material is extremely graphic and the second set of images shows the crucifix of two convicted thieves hung on crosses and then shot at point-blank range. a third set of images showing the stoning of this woman for adultery. but also notice in another image, how it seems to be so carefully staged to showcase the

black and white flag of isis. there's no way to independently verify the claims in these videos but having seen so many of these tapes-it certainly is consistent with the group's violent propaganda. >> what do you make about the reporting from belgium the indications from authorities they have thwarted a large-scale terrorist plot of some kind? >> reporter: want to pick up on a couple points rick leventhal made from paris. we know that the arms for the third suspect in paris coal bally, a co cher grocery came from the brussels arms dealer who turned himself in and also would have been debriefed by police indicating who else they would have been talking to and providing weapons to. from my experience, what happens when the net of law. begins to tighten is that these cells start to communicate and they start to move and it's when they start to move they're

really at their most vulnerable and in this particular case -- i'm just speaking from experience -- this particular case these individuals were on the move, they were in the process of executing an attack and it was that imminent threat that led to belgians to act. i don't think we can ignore what is reported as the connection to isis in syria and iraq. this is the new training ground. but what we saw possibly in brussels, what we definitely saginaw paris is a real departure, not like the lone wolves that we saw in canada australia, and we have seen here in the united states. this was a commando style attack where at least one of the individuals had proper training with weapons, also had what they call operational security understood how to stay below the radar, and then i would also note that in paris, these individuals at every opportunity

they told the media or shouted into the streets where they were from and who they were connected to, and this is one of the things that al qaeda and isis teach their followers, because they see this as a moment to really capitalize on the message and use the media to spread their propaganda. >> apparently it's part of a pattern. fascinating. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> the news is still break out of belgium. exactly what was thwarted. who are these people with whom do they have ties ties ties and how dangerous are those around them w.h.o. -- who have not been caught.

interesting news from the vatican. pope francis denounced the attack on the newspaper that published the cartoons about muhammad. today she said there should be limits to freedom of expression and, get this, especially when people ridicule each other's faiths. the pope compared it to what might happen should someone insult his mother. >> translator: he can expect a punch. it's normal. it's normal. you can't provoke. you can't insult. the faith of others. >> hmm. the attack has renewed debate about free only of speech in

france and around the world even as the "charlie hebdo" newspaper sold more than five million copies it presented after gun minnesota burst into its offices offices and killed 12 people. trace gallagher is having a free speech debate or following it. hey with heard of speech limits in this country. >> reporter: in this country everyone knows you cannot yell fire in a crowded theater or incite a riot or make violent threats. pop fran and is many others believe religion bashing should be included, but sal machine rash diwho is under a fatwah because of his book, was insulting to islam and said he stopped listening to people who say they believe in free speech, but. >> i believe in free speech but people should behave themselves. i believe in free speech but we shouldn't upset anything. i believe in free speech but that's let's not go to far. the point about it is the moment you limit free speech it's not free speech.

the point about it is that it's free. >> reporter: by the way, rushdie claims iran's send him notes reminding him of their vow to kill them. >> there's fame news case involving holiday hustler "magazine. >> jerry fall well was shown in a bad way and the sued for damages. the supreme court ruled against jerry falwell saying apairedy of a public fig is protected under the first amendment, justice william wren quest wrote, quote despite their caustic nature from the early cartoons portraying orange county. >> as an ass, dune to -- down to today, from the viewpoint of putt, it is clear our political discourse would have been

considerably poorer without them. and falwell and friend ended up becoming pretty close friends. >> there's that. trace gallagher, thank you. me man facing charges for killing his hedge fund founding father, may still have his dad's inheritance money coming his way. dad cut off his rent money and dad lowered his allowance this 30-year-old man and the 30-year-old man is charged with killing dad. but there's inheritance from dad to 30-year-old son. might he get it? he might. that's coming up.

>> kill your dad and get his cash. remember the guy in new york accused of killing his father

for cutting his allowance? the 30-year-old could stand to inhart more than a million dollars. we reported on the heck fund manager who is wife found him shot to death. police say it happened after an argument with the 30-year-old son whose allowance he recently cut by $200 a month. the "new york post" reports a representative filed the father's will in court and in the will, it split the $1.6 million between his wife, his daughter, and his son. estate attorneys say the law is not clear whether the son is still entitled to his share of the money. with us now is are arthur aidala, a fox news legal analyst. they haven't proved he did anything but he sent mommy away. to go get him some lunch and then mommy came home and thinking, probably going to kill him and got home and --

>> she had a bad feeling quote-unquote, and turned around and came home. the only reason why the will was filed is apparently there aren't many liquid assets the mom has to run the household. so there wasn't a joint bank account with a lot of money in it for the wife and he husband which she would automatically get no matter how he died. so she files the will and there's a trust that gives him a smaller amount of money until he is 35, and then at 35 he gets a lump sum and it could up to a million dollars, depending on how he capital accumulates. there's no clear law that says if you cause -- if you intentionally cause the death of a person who has made you the beneficiary in their will you are automatically disinherented. that doesn't exist. i would imagine in a very short period of time we'll see somebody in the new york state legislature propose that law, and it kind of makes sense.

what will happen here depends on the mother and the daughter. hypothetically, if he is convicted, the mother and the daughter would then go to court and say, yourself, he should not be able to get this money and knowing the surrogate in new york county, that surrogate would probably rule in their favor and ultimately if he is convicted and probably would not get the money. >> he won't necessarily be convicted of murder 1, someone of the possibles is what if -- i'm not saying -- what if there was a struggle for the gun, the gun went off thundershowers father got killed. he would most certainly be entitle to the money. >> in those cases he still gets convicted of a lesser included crime. unless he is totally acquitted. i believe the surrogate -- the judge in charge of this type of case, special judge -- would have it in her discretion to eliminate him from the will but if he is convicted even of the

lesser crime of manslaughter -- he was struggling with the gun, didn't want to kill hum but will more than likely be out of the money. it's a little ridiculous at this opinion in 2015, there aren't any laws on -- we have laws on the books about where dogs poop and how you have to put it up but no laws bet if somebody kills a person, the inheritance. >> when you were 30 what was your allowance? >> when i was 15 -- >> i said 30, iwell, the d.a. was paying me $400 a week. >> that's an interesting beginning there. this guy is a harvard -- not harvard -- one of the ivy school graduates -- i don't know. he has all kind of credentials but no job. i'm being told he went to princeton. >> that's a legitimate institution. obviously there was enough going on in the household and me mom -- if this case goes to trial the mom will testify as to his demeanor, the father's

demeanor, and the son's do you remember, upon the arrival in the house, even though the prosecutor doesn't have to prove motive, that's something they want to bring out through the mother and what her authorities are, did the son have motive? doesn't make any sense to kill any other human being over $200. >> arthur, thank you. the white house is at odds with the republicans of the latest release of prisoners from guantanamo bay. , the people at guantanamo bay now have no charges against them, being detained without due process, and we're breaking all of our own rules. but these people are accused of wanting to go back ask kill us. so what do you do? we'll break down the debate. plus what we know about the form deer takenees and where they're going. that's coming up at the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief

bottom hour, top of the news. continuing coverage of the top story, the marriage terror raid in belgium. officials say two people are

dead and a third is in custody after cops busted a suspected terrorist cell that was armed and fully operational, as they put it. we're told isis was in charge here and that the cell was about to carry oust what authorities in belgium call, large-scale attacks. mike barrett is with us now, former defense department del intelligence officer. we have been able to bring together some tweets of people making their way, these alleged terrorists from france into belgium. listen to this. on january 9th abu said, don't want to hurt neighbors feelings but the belgium intelligence team is the laziess and dumbest. they kept me under surveillance since i was 14 and i passed through brussels airport like a knife cut through soft butter. it sounds like this is easy pickings. >> one thing you have to remember, i studied abroad in belgium when i was younger, and it's a wonderful little country

and it's generally immune from these sorts of things because it's a small country and peopletend not to think of them as a terror target. we see evidence that actually the so-called reitedly laziy intelligence services scored a major victory. they were able to break up a ring. we should be so lucky here in the u.s. we have similar threats here and have plenty of law enforcement trying to look for exactly these types of preoperational indicators. >> a little research indicated that they have the smallest population in europe in belgium but the largest number per capita of people going over to fight with isis and other terrorist organizations. >> one thing about belgium is they had some overseas colonies back in the day so in the post colonial post world war ii environment, they had fairly open immigration poll is and have a lot of north african residents so you see that same demographic in the suburbs of paris, so not surprising there's

a connection between the folks in the french speaking parts of paris and the french speaking parts of belgium. you see how isis is using social media to radicalize groups. >> i was talking to catherine herridge and she was discussing how the key seems to getting group is to get them on the run. when they're flushed, that's when you get them and sounded to her like that what happened in belgium. >> exactly right in the wake of the paris event i imagine what we'll learn is that they were already under moderate or low-level surveillance following the paris attack, you step up the number of police officers on guard, and now you're looking at the pre-operational thing, maybe one of the cell members goes out for lunch, thinks he is being followed, they come back and decide to move up the team timetable of the attack. this is part of why the nsa wire

taps are important you. immediate to have an understanding of the people that might immediately decide to carry out an attack. the acknowledge way to have the information today is you collected it yesterday. >> the aqap, al qaeda in arraign an practice, the only one that said we want to attack in the united states, and anytime we hear something about them, i know that ears perk up around here. what's the concern level? >> it's very high among law enforcement right now because what we're seeing is a combination -- apparently this group was directed and controlled -- at least that's the early reports -- by isis or aqap. we're seeing a lot of lone wolfs and the lone wolves are hard to detect but as we say with"charlie hebdo," couple of people can create a lot of havoc and we have seen that in the u.s. with small groups and muslim or not, going back as far as timothy mcveigh and the oklahoma city bombing, one guy with a truck. we're also worried about large groups coming bam from training

abroad. the difference between aqap and isis, they're both vying for the kind of manle of who is the biggest dog on the block and they're claiming to be the real representative of the new caliphate or whatever they want to use. certainly the big target is the united states. the fact there's an attack in belgium, that shows you we all have to be vigilant because there could be an attack anywhere. >> mike, thanks a lot. the gitmo showdown. the obama administration transferred fire more detainees from the prison in guantanamo bay and defied republican critics who claim that could put the united states at risk. these men were once suspected of beinged a quite fighter but there nor charges against them, held without due process for 12 years. now after 12 years in lockup, with nothing, no charges of any kind and no plans for any charges of any kind defense officials say there is no reason to keep on holding them.

they have nothing on them. of course critics opinion out the men are all from yemen, the home base of what the united states officials cal the most dangerous al qaeda affiliate. the same taking credit for the attack on the newspaper in france. then again, this is america and in america you have to have probable cause, you have to have charges, due process. can't hold somebody for 12 years. we have, and now the obama administration has said, we can't do this anymore. u.s. officials say the yemen connection delayed the men's release for five years. the pentagon already cleared these men for release five years ago. but because of the yemeny connections they kept holding them without any cause. now it's done. the united states refused to send them to yemen and then struck a deal to send them to ammann and estonia. this is a political football

from the very beginning. republicans say -- in congress say there's nothing to keep the former detainees from returning to terrorism, whether they're in yemen or not. senate republicans are proposing legislation to stop these gitmo transfers. they claim 30% of former prisoners end up back in the fight. a drastic difference from the state department. the state department claims the number is a whole lot lower. be that as it may president obama long promised to shut down the guantanamo bay base, he said this is a stain on our nation will reflect horribly on our history. we're detaining people for no reason. the latest releases leave 122 detainees in the prison there. most of them are from yemen. so let's get into this debate. ed henry is at the white house. what is the white house saying about these new releases. >> well, what they're saying when you point out that one of the detainees was released to estona, four to ohman. ohman borders yellen but josh

ernest said there are safeguards in place to make sure they don't return to the battlefield, and it was the unanimous recommendation of the president's national security team to move forward with this. you mentioned that number, republicans claiming 30% of these detainees wind up back on the battlefield. josh e. nest insists the number as you said, is lower. actually six percent. something i pressed him about. >> if it's six percent, isn't that still a problem? six percent of these detainees go back into terrorism could kill people in paris or washington. >> it's certainly why this administration continues to pursue a very aggressive counterterrorism strategy. >> reporter: josh ernest went on to say keeping these detainees in limbo in prison, at gitmo, is a recruiting tool for the terrorist. >> what are republicans saying about the reported yemen desk the france attacks?

>> reporter: well, now three republican senators who have been pushing that 30% number, which is inflated, according to the administration, as well as independent analysts who have looked at it, put out a statement a short time ago pointing out this direct connection to terror in paris back to yemen, as well in terms of where at least one of the terrorists was train. listen to this. said kouachi. is expected of using a trip to omaune to slip into yemen for training. that's accurate we sent four gitmo detainees to ohman, the same country that served as a jumping off opinion for said kouachi to travel to yemen for terrorist training. that's why republicans are upset about this but the president continues to release more detain wyoming. his first week in office he promised to shut it discount by the owned of his first year in office. that didn't happen but he's determine to make it happen

before he leaves office. >> for clarity the pentagon cleared all of these for transfer not yesterday but five years ago because in america, we have laws that say if we can't prove you did something, we can't hold you forever because it goes against the foundations of our nation. >> yes. and the president is -- yes, but the pound is balancing that with the fact his outgoing defense secretary chuck haigle and others have been privately saying they do have concerns even though they've been cleared by officials that we can release them, they're still concerned they could wind up on the battlefield. this is the balance the president has. yes, you're right about the civil liberties question, but if you release them and they wind up back on the battlefield and launch another terror attack like we saw in paris, that's obviously a problem for the administration. >> a problem for the whole world. two americans accomplished something we never seen in recorded history. using their bare hands to climb

a wall in yosemite park. the spoke publicly and for the first time. man alive, how did they do this? we'll hear from them coming up. ooh, you'd have to be crazy to go outside in this heat. like harry. i saw him leaving this morning with that new water thing of his that's like a snowmobile that floats. doesn't he worry about being swept out to sea? or sharks! you're going to eat that thing all over yourself. some people want more out of life,

continuing coverage of thestore. the major terror raid taking place in belgium. officials say two people are fade -- are dead and a third in custody after cops bust a terror cell that was fully operational, that isis was in charge and the cell was about to carry out large-scale attacks. is the threat over? the answer is no. movements ago we got word from belgium after the raids after the killing of the two terror suspects and after the incarceration of a third they've now raised their terror alert level across belgium. which suggests to one and all there are more out there or they believe there are and they believe the threat may be very high. many questions about what it is that these three were involved in. they have not been specific.

they held a news conference over there. we're still not specific about what they believe that this terror cell was about to carry out. we do know they've been watching this group since parts of it have come back from syria and described it to us us as a large-scale attack or large-scale attacks. it's very clear us to the authorities are leading us -- i just reported that. they've raised their national security alert level and their terror threat level, as i reported, and in addition we're waiting to find out what these large, scale attacks were. they've been sitting on these suspects for quite some time following their moms, and believed they were -- following their movements movements and believed they were operational, but we have heard that the best time to get them is when they're on the move. that's the easiest time for a take-down and authorities

recognized that opportunity today. a fox report now and more headline friday to the fox news deck. a rebel flag now flying over an airport in eastern ukraine. pro russian fighters say they've taken over the term at don -- >> tart reports it's shutting down all stores in canada. executives will put more than 17,000 people out of work. the company claims its canadian stores were losing as much as a billion dollars a year. there were 133 of them. four people are hurt after a car smashed into a shopping mall outside san francisco. that's according to emergency works who say at laos two other people had panic attacks. police say it looked to them like the 63-year-old driver lost control of the car and it ended

up 50 feet inside a store. hour friday now. easier for most americans to travel to cuba. that's next.

americans company will have a new market to push the products and for the first time in half a century many americans will be able to visit cuba. some of the decades old restriction on trade and travel to the nation ends tonight. president obama last month announced the changes after years of bans and economic punishes on cuba's communist government. the new rules allow american busies to export things lying cell phones, tvs and computers to cuba, and the new rules let many persons travel there for
